      <p class="trend-text sety " >
   On Wednesday night, the Los Angeles Clippers Lost to Denver Nuggets 130 - 116 at Crypto.com Arena. Nikola Jokic had one of the best performances of the NBA season, scoring 55 points and grabbing 12 rebounds.</p>
   <p class="trend-text sety" >
    The performance tied the league's highest scoring game of the season, which Oklahoma City player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander set in a double-overtime game in October. Jokic, on the other hand, was incredibly efficient, making 18 of 23 shots from the field, 5 of 6 from three-point range, and 14 of 16 from the free throw line to get to 55.
    </p>
    <p class="trend-text sety" >
    With 25 of Denver's 39 points in the first quarter and another 19 in the third, Jokic got off to a quick start. He sat for the majority of the fourth quarter and only returned briefly to increase his total to 55.
    </p>
      

    <div class="quates">
        <p>“I just tried to take what the defense gave me,” Jokic said after the game. “When shots are falling early, everything just opens up.”</p>
      </div>


      <p class="trend-text sety" >
    Even though their star center had a great start, the Nuggets were down 10 points in the second quarter and 68-63 at the half. However, Denver grabbed control after the half and outscored Los Angeles, largely because of two runs scored by Jokic alone.
    </p>
      <p class="trend-text sety" >
    Denver's victory handed them their sixth consecutive victory and placed them close to the top of the Western Conference standings.
